Sona's POV-
I was so ecstatic to see Louis . He is my best friend , he is the only person who has ever cared about me, the only person who ever showed kindness , empathy towards me . You all must be thinking how do I, a lowly maid know the ruthless prince Louis ....
It all happened 14 years ago, when I was five years old , yes I'm 19 now . Even though I was only five years old, a child I was still required to do maidly duties. One day when I couldn't bear the beatings and the insults , I ran away from the kingdom secretly and went to my favourite place - which I call a secret waterfall. It's secret because I have never seen a single soul besides me near that waterfall until I met Louis.
I sat by waterfall , on the rocks and cried my heart out, I prayed to the moon Goddess to give me a friend , who would show me kindness and care for me unlike everyone else . And that day she granted my wish , I met Louis. When I was crying , a boy ten or elven year old gave me a hankerchief to wipe my tears and gave me an apple to eat . I looked at his face and I would never forget that face. It soon became a habit I would go the waterfall whenever I was depressed or sad and he used to give me fresh , red apples.
We became best friends . Until one day when he suddenly left and never came back until now. I immediately recognized him even after so many years because we still had that connection.
Louis - What are you thinking ? Don't tell me you are still thinking about work ? I specifically took the Alpha's permission to take you out , you better not think about anything else apart from me
Sona - (laughs) Ok Mr. possessive Louis. I was just thinking about how we met and all those memories made me nostalgic and lost in thought
Louis - Good. You should only think about me
Sona - So how did you get the title of the most ruthless and merciless price alive ? The boy I knew was the total opposite, kind and compassionate
Louis - Well I guess my reputation precedes me . You know the boy I was, but I'll show you the man I'm. I'll make this day the best day of your life . Let's go to our favorite place the secret waterfall .
(Holds her hand and starts pulling her into a run)
Sona - I can't run Louis, I'm pregnant. Your best friend is going to be a mother . I'm so happy (hugs him)
Louis - So you are really pregnant? I thought it was just a mistake on my senses . Wait who is the father?
Sona - ( breaks the hug) What do you mean? You sensed my pregnancy? You can?
Louis - Yes, I didn't tell you but I'm a gifted senser. Every Alpha has a gifted ability, I'm a senser . And that's why I could sense you by the waterfall.
Sona - Ohh, I didn't know that . So you can hear my baby's heartbeat inside me
Louis - I can hear two heartbeats inside you, but only the father of this baby can feel the baby. Who's the father Sona?
Sona - It's Chris' baby
Louis - What are you crazy? Why would you even sleep with a man like him? He'll never accept a bastard child
Sona - Louis! It's my baby and not a bastard, watch your tongue. I may be a slave but I won't hear insults about my baby
Louis - (holds her hands) I'm sorry, it's not what I meant . I was just worried about you and now that you are pregnant I'm even worried about you
Sona - Ok. But please don't ever call you baby a bastard . And there's nothing to worry about Chris may not love me but I can tell he loves the baby unconditionally
Louis - Do you love him, Sona ?
Sona - Yes , I do even if he doesn't and even if I shouldn't. But I can't help what I feel . And I love him
Louis - You love him even though he treats you like shit?
Sona - He doesn't....
Louis - Sona don't cover for him. You are pregnant with his child, and if he did care for you one bit he would have asked someone else to do the chores. There are hundreds of maids in the palace. Even in this condition, you were lifting such heavy things, and when I asked a break for you, he was too quick to say that you have unfinished stuff . How much does he want a woman pregnant with his child to work?
Sona - I understand and appreciate that you care about me , but at the end of the day I'm a nobody and he's the crown prince
Louis - In my eyes you are not , you are the same little girl I met 14 years ago. The same girl who's smile I loved and the same girl who has grown into a beautiful woman now, the same girl who loved apples
( removes an apple from his pocket )Sona - (smiles and takes the apple from him) You still carry an apple?
Louis - In case I ever meet you ...
Sona - Why did you leave suddenly? I was all alone and all by myself . I missed you so much
Louis - Eat the apple first and then I'll tell you
Sona - (chuckles) Ok , you haven't changed a bit
Louis - But you have , I'm no longer the only person in your life
Sona - What ?
Louis- Just eat, the baby must be hungry
Sona - Yeah, you're right. I'm so hungry (eats)
Louis - Can I feel your baby?
Sona - Yes, but I don't know if she'll kick or not
Louis - Alright, alright (places his hand on her lower belly, trying to feel the baby, but the baby moves in the other direction)
Sona - Oh baby, you shouldn't, Louis wants to feel you
Louis - I guess she clearly doesn't like me
Sona - I'm sorry ....
Louis - No don't be , it's not your fault , let's go to the waterfall....
Sona - Yes! It's my favourite place
Louis takes her one hand in his and wraps his other hand around her waist , and Sona keeps her other free hand on her belly as the two of them walk together.
